D… as you know the worms eating at this once lush lustrous apple called Merck are embedded in the merk-medco operations and its propensity for kickbacks.

 

My advice is to better scrutinize the operational aspects and controls rather than the accounting presented. It is what the accounting represented that they improperly did, i.e. they screwed their fiduciary but of course you know that.

 

I have been advised to leave town for a few days although it may end up being several weeks. I have this place up in the mountains, my Stonehenge, where I don’t expect any type of reception, at least not at this moment in time. I have been preoccupied trying to stay out of the line of fire. My next couple of emails before I hit the dust talk to under-lying tasks at hand.

 

Hope this helps a little.

 

Gary

What do you know about Merck?

The case has to do with Merck-Medco including client co-payments as revenue in Merck's balance sheets in anticipation of spinning off Medco.  It resulted in revenue overstatements of approximately $14 billion over three years.

 D…, congratulations on your ability to leverage your client
 relationships to gain control of the merck litigation. Good luck in
 proceeding and let me if I can help since I am intimately familiar
 with the inner workings at Merck.
